Candide in Chronology is on strike

How could Qin Xi let her see what she wanted to see? From her point of view, everything in this room, except this box and the things in it, did not belong to her.

Naturally, she separated her things from this room early on, which is why she was able to leave as soon as she came back with her suitcase in her arms.

When she arrived at the main room, she put the box on the dining table and went to her brother's room to help him pack.

Qin Jiang didn't have many things, and everything was contained in a light and delicate sack.

Of course, the eight yuan that the two of them hid together under his bed and between the bricks before was also taken out. During this period of time, they had to live on these eight yuan.

After the two packed their things, the moment they were about to step out of the Qin family's gate, Li Chunhua suddenly felt a little emotional, as if they would never come back after they left.

"Qin Xi! Take your brother out and have a good time. You'll be back after a while. This is still your home."

Now that Qin Xi is going to leave, although it will have some impact on her, it is not very big, because the housework at home is now scattered, it does not mean that it will all be on her head alone.

As for the firewood box, how could she care about it, anyway, the money would not reach her in the end, and it would be turned into something in the end, and Liu Qin would take it back to her mother's house and give it to her old mother.

"Well, I know." That's what he said, but after stepping out of this door today, Qin Xi has no plans to come back.

Although Liu Qin's original intention was not to drive them away, but to teach her a lesson, perhaps in the eyes of others, such a thing is very common, after all, parents teach their children, and it is natural for them to interrupt the carrying pole Yes, if you don't teach, you can't become a talent, and you have to say hello, but these are unacceptable to Qin Xi.

In addition, many aspects of the Qin family made her feel very depressed, especially when mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were fighting each other, so if you can leave, then leave!She believes she can support herself.

As for her brother Qin Jiang, just treat her as selfish!This world is too strange, and she is a little scared alone, so she tied Qin Jiang by her side, hoping that someone can always be with her, she will always treat her brother well, and she will work hard to make their life better .

When they arrived at Grandma Yu's house, Qin Xi and Qin Jiang began to tidy up the house. The usable things in the house were moved to the kitchen and put away properly, and the useless things were also brought to the kitchen, which could be used as firewood for the fire.

Sprinkling water, sweeping the floor and dusting the dust, the brothers and sisters were extremely busy. Today’s weather is fine, and the two of them carried the bed to the open space in front of the house, patiently wiped the bed frame clean, and then took the polished bed with them. Knife, go mowing the grass.

The cut thatch is first taken to a small ditch not far away to be washed, then tied up, and spread out to dry on the rack where grandma hangs clothes.

They didn't have quilts or mats. The thatch was what they planned to put under their bodies when they slept at night. It was always more comfortable. That's how they slept when they lived in the cave.

When Qingqiu came back with the firewood on his back, seeing the completely changed courtyard, a gratified smile suddenly appeared on his face.

As soon as she looked at the yard, she could tell that both of them were quick at work. Generally speaking, this kind of person's ability to survive and adapt to life was not weak, which made her feel more at ease about the two of them.

She herself is old and weak, and she really can't afford the lives of the two of them. It is naturally best for them to support themselves.

As soon as Qin Xi went out, she saw Yu Qingqiu carrying a basket of firewood on her back. She hurried up to meet her and took the firewood: "Grandma, don't go out to collect firewood in the future, we will take care of the firewood at home."

"I'm getting old, I can't be idle." Yu Qingqiu had an unconcealable smile on her face. She lived here alone for a long time, and the loneliness in her heart was about to completely swallow up her old bones. Finally, there is a trace of freshness injected.

When Grandma Yu started cooking, Qin Xi finally realized what she had overlooked. She forgot to buy food.

"Grandma, my brother and I still have something we haven't taken at home, so let's go first, you can eat by yourself, don't worry about us."

After speaking, Qin Xi took Qin Jiang and ran away with a small sack. Of course, she didn't forget to bring money.

The two went directly to a street in the black market, and they didn't know who was covering this place. It was quite strict outside, but this place just gave Qin Xi the feeling of a market in later generations. The things inside, apart from being expensive, were not expensive. Another problem.

The sellers are also very open and generous, without the shrinking attitude of those black market dealers she imagined.

In this place, as long as you pay, you can set up a stall. In the open air, you can stand on the street with a piece of coarse cloth for five cents an hour. If you have a berth, the price is doubled.

The brother and sister went to the place where the grain was sold first. Now that the sweet potatoes and potatoes have not arrived, there are a lot of corn.

Qin Xi bought ten tender corns that cost two cents a piece and spent two cents, and bought ten catties of sun-dried corn with cobs for fifty cents.

Corn is a coarse grain, and Qin Xi also went to buy fine grains to eat with it. She bought [-] catties of rice for [-] cents and spent [-] cents.

All these grains cost one yuan and six, and if eaten with wild vegetables, it would be enough for them to eat for a week.

For lunch, the two ate steamed buns, two for Qin Xi, and three for Qin Jiang. When they returned, they brought a meat bun for the old lady. After all, the old man refused to ask for rent. In the morning, the two brothers and sisters each drank her a bowl of porridge. , I can only buy a meat bun to express my feelings.

Fortunately, they brought a sack with them when they came, otherwise it would be a problem how to bring things back.

Back in the small earthen house, the old lady was taking a lunch break, Qin Xi and Qin Jiang didn't bother, they just put the buns on the small table next to the old lady's bed, and covered them with a small basket to avoid mosquitoes and flies Something to move that bun.

They are planning to live for a long time, and there are a lot of things that are missing. Qin Xi plans to go to Shangyun Village, which is three or four miles away from here. From Yuanshen's memory, she learned that she went there with her grandma Li Chunhua before. Furniture and stoneware bowls.

There are craftsmen in Shangyun Village, and there are quite a few of them. The bamboo back baskets, mats, baskets, boxes, and even tables, chairs and benches they make with bamboo are very delicate and durable. With this craft, Shangyun Village opened a bamboo craft The workshop, which belongs to the collective, is legal and compliant. The living standard of the people in Shangyun Village is much higher than that of other villages, and the only difference is in the income generation.

As for the rough pottery bowls, they were fired in the earthen kilns built by the villagers themselves. In addition to bowls, earthen jars, tiles and bricks can also be fired. Therefore, Shangyun Village is all red brick and tile houses, which look bright when you look at it.
